Figure 5

(A) Left panel: Schematic of Tel5::URA3+ reporter strain. Right panels: Silencing assay assessing transcriptional silencing of the Tel5::URA3+ reporter strain in WT and sir2 Δ/Δ isolates at 30 °C, in the presence of 1 mM H2O2, 200 ng/μl fluconazole and at 39 °C. A URA+ (URA3+) strain was included as a control. (B) qRT-PCR analyses to measure Tel5::URA3+ transcript levels relative to ACT1 at 30 °C and 39 °C in WT (left panel) and sir2 Δ/Δ (right panel) strains. (C) qChIP to detect H3K9Ac levels associated with Tel5::URA3+ and ACT1 in WT and sir2 Δ/Δ isolats at 30 °C (Left panel) and 39 °C (Right panel). Error bars in each panel: Standard deviation (SD) of three biological replicates.
